Narrative

* The narrative of "Evan Almighty" is organised and structured to a good extent as it mainly revolves around God responding to Evan's prayer of helping him change the world, by which he must save humanity to do so. Throughout the film, we see the build-up of Evan taking on the role of building the Ark, therefore allowing the audience to gradually understand the concept of the film's narrative and the climax it leads them to.

* Due to the film's narrative bringing forth the case of religion, people who are of a specific religion may be able to understand the film more clearly due to them knowing the story of "Noah & The Ark". However as said before, for those who lead the same sort of lifestyle as Evan, personal identification may be able to take place as they can see themselves in the same sort of situation as Evan.

* Characters are delineated by their role within the film. Most of the characters within the film either take on the role of a hero, villain, donor, or helper, as a result leading the connection of these characters' representation to Propp's character theory. Heroes and villains are created through the characters' roles within the film. A hero is created through Evan Baxter as he is shown actually believing that God is who he says he is and takes this role further by building an Ark, as a result taking on the full role of Noah.

* A villain is created out of Congressman Long due to his disbelief in Evan and the flood. With the further knowledge that his dam is what caused the flood, the audience are able to see him more as a villain due to knowing that he is the reason as to why people were placed in danger.

* As said before, people who have the same sort of career as Evan may be able to identify with him as they also wish to change the world in one way or another. However, in opposite context to this is the alienation that some audience members may feel as they may not have the same sort of lifestyle that Evan leads and therefore may not be able to relate to him.

* Music plays a major role within the film as a lot of it is to do with God and The Flood; for example, the songs "Spirit in the Sky" and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" give the audience more of an idea about the overall narrative, and what may possibly make it somewhat easier for them to understand.

* The major theme within the film is clearly the story of "Noah & The Ark", and the values and ideologies that are featured in the film are able to back this up. The director of the film possibly wanted to tell the story of "Noah & The Ark" within a comedy film as he may have wanted to gain a large audience; for example, those who came to learn and those who came to laugh.
